PODCAST: The Forays in Self-consciousness Edition

A starving of artists and a choking of friendships: things are going to get weird. This week I also worry about trying not to bother Joe Rogan too much while still campaigning to get comedian Mike Schmidt (from the 40 Year Old Boy podcast) on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. I also update you on the #IndiesUniteforJoshua campaign. To donate, please go here and get perks for your generosity!

Check out my page at Quotations Diary! It’s fun. No, really it is! Much more fun than this monotone, deep and despairing podcast in which I talk to myself for 40 minutes or so. I should really write more and talk less. God, I hate myself. Also? Kind of self-conscious. But listen to the podcast and I’ll explain.

I also have my new author page at Amazon’s Author Central in which I reveal the truth of my army of ninja assassins.

Your free weekly Self-help for Stoners podcast is available on iTunes, or you can download the Stitcher app for free and stream it to your device so you don’t have to hook up to your computer like an impoverished computer person from the 1990s. Cables are so last decade! Enter the promo code SELFHELPSTONERS here and bam! You’ll be entered into a draw to win a $100 cash card for the pleasure of joining Stitcher Radio.

To check out my books, you could go to Smashwords or Amazon or pretty much any digital book platform if you search for “Robert Chazz Chute.” That was easy. Want the printed, dead tree version of Self-help for Stoners featuring actual ink? Buy the paperback here.

Thanks for listening to my comedy/narrative podcast full of stuff and nonsense!

Kevin Smith & Jason Mewes now have autographed copies of Self-help for Stoners! YAY!

Last night I shook hands and had a chat with Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith (Jay and Silent Bob for those not in the cult). Each now have a signed copy of my book, Self-help for Stoners. They couldn’t have been more gracious, interested, warm or friendly. It was a big moment for me, especially when Kevin recognized the book and said, “Hey! I know you!”

Each got a personalized recommendation for stories they might particularly like from Self-help and it was a genuine pleasure all around. We laughed a lot. As always, of course, Kevin spoke inspired and inspiring words about writing and the creative process.

I’m a bit emotional today. (Scratch that. I’m very emotional today.) It was a milestone in the evolution, not just of the book, but for me taking the leap to writing full-time. It was just over a year ago that I decided I needed to “stop chasing the puck” and quit my job of twenty years. (I won’t rehash that story here, but you can always watch the video on the Inspiration page.) Things went full circle last night. And now? Onward. Three novels are coming out this year with my name on them. Hoo-ha!

I must make this writing thing work.

Bonus? As I walked up onstage, Jay sang Paperback Writer. Yes!
